The venue was the paddock at the back of the Three Tuns tavern, where the usual paraphernalia of fairs used to congregate in full force. The Feast always took place in the summer at a time which included a week of our school holidays. I was not more than seven or eight years of age when, without my parents' consent, I wandered over to Wroughton ... This annual event always commenced on a Sunday evening by friends and neighbours from Swindon, Wroughton and neighbouring villages congregating at the Three Tuns, where, crowded inside and out, large quantities of beer and spirits were consumed. A miniature grand stand was erected for Feast Week in an orchard adjoining the paddock, upon which many of the elite of the neighbourhood, both ladies and gentlemen, occupied seats, and indulged freely in choice fruits and refreshments."</i><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Parish_church">Parish church</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wroughton&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Parish church"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg/250px-The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg/330px-The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg/500px-The_Church_of_St_John_the_Baptist_and_St_Helen_at_Wroughton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_5289773.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3909" data-file-height="2933" /></a><figcaption>Church of St John and St Helen</figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England_parish_church" title="Church of England parish church">Church of England parish church</a> of St John the Baptist and St Helen stands on a ridge above the southwest of the present village, near the road to Avebury.
